Conseil jeunesse de Montréal recruitment campaign

MONTREAL, March 5, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - The Conseil jeunesse de Montréal
wishes to notify the citizens of Montréal that it is launching a
recruitment campaign for new volunteer members among the residents of
the boroughs of Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Lachine,
L'Île-Bizard-Sainte-Geneviève, Pierrefonds-Roxboro, Saint-Laurent and
the Sud-Ouest. "Are you interested in getting involved, working for
Montréal's youths, listening, and contributing to our City's
development? Now is the time to apply!", explained the CjM president,
Michael Ryan Wiseman.

Why become a member?

Active since February 2003, the role of the Conseil jeunesse de Montréal
is to advise the Mayor and the Executive Committee on a regular and
ongoing basis with respect to all matters relating to youths, and to
ensure that the concerns of young people are taken into consideration
in the decisions made by municipal administration. It is composed of 15
volunteer members comprising men and women between the ages of 16 and
30, who are representative of the geographic, linguistic, cultural and
social diversity of Montréal's youths. Through its activities, the CjM
gives young Montréalers a voice that is heard by the City's
decision-making authorities.

The recommendations in these notices, which are sent to municipal
authorities, have already been widely implemented and have generated
positive outcomes for the Montréal population, including the
introduction of BIXI bicycles (Mobile sur l'île, rapide en ville notice) and the professional sponsorship program (En fonction des jeunes notice).

Selection criteria

To become a member of the Conseil jeunesse de Montréal, applicants must
be between the ages of 16 and 30 and live in one of the six boroughs in
the Western sector of the City (boroughs of Ahuntsic-Cartierville,
L'Île-Bizard-Sainte-Geneviève, Lachine, Saint-Laurent,
Pierrefonds-Roxboro and Sud-Ouest), or have operated a business
establishment in one of the boroughs for at least one year.

Furthermore, in order to make room for new voices and prevent
overlapping in terms of representation, applicants must not serve as
members of boards of directors of youth agencies, local youth task
forces or the Forum jeunesse de l'Île de Montréal, or as members of the
Executive Committee of political parties or union organizations.

Application process

The recruitment campaign will unfold from March 5 to April 2, 2014 with
a view to compiling a candidate bank to satisfy current and emerging
needs in the Western sector.

Anyone who is interested in becoming a member of the CjM must complete
an application form available at www.cjmtl.com, and include their curriculum vitae. Applications must be received
before 5 PM on April 2, 2014.
